Prioritizing operational safety, the commercial operations of the EH216-S in China will be methodically expanded through a phased approach. This expansion will transition from isolated airspace to integrated airspace, from aerial tourism to passenger transportation, from pilot sites to additional locations, and from serving invited passengers to the general public.
EHang’s VT35, a next-generation long-range lift-and-cruise pilotless eVTOL and upgraded version of the VT30, is in the process of applying for China’s certification. The CAAC has accepted its Type Certification application. The first VT35 unit has been manufactured for airworthiness validation tests and is now undergoing comprehensive flight testing. EHang plans to unveil the VT35 in the third quarter of 2025.
In the first quarter of 2025, the Company commenced the expansion and upgrade of its Yunfu production base. This will double the factory space to 48,000 square meters, with plans to increase the annual production capacity to 1,000 units by the end of this year.
In February 2025, EHang announced a strategic partnership with JAC Motors and Guoxian Holdings to jointly build a state-of-the-art eVTOL production base in Hefei. The new facility will integrate automation, standardization, and scale production to meet rising demand and accelerate the commercialization of the low-altitude economy.
In January 2025, the Company’s client conducted trial flights of the EH216-S at an eVTOL operation center located at Longhua Airport on Shanghai’s Xuhui Riverside.
In January 2025, the Company’s client launched the Luohu UAM Exhibition and Experience Center in Shenzhen’s Luohu Sports and Leisure Park. This innovative hub, featuring an automated multi-level smart vertiport for EH216-S operations, sets a new standard for urban low-altitude infrastructure and tourism.
With the support of local customers and partners, EH216-S made its flights in Benidorm, Spain in February and in Mexico in March, expanding EHang’s global presence to 19 countries.
In February 2025, EHang established the Aerospace and Intelligent Manufacturing Committee of the Tsinghua University Alumni Association in Guangzhou to foster a low-altitude economy innovation ecosystem in the Greater Bay Area. In March 2025, EHang signed an MoU with the University of Zaragoza (Spain) and the University of Guangzhou to create the Joint Laboratory for Low-Altitude Flight Safety.
In May 2025, EHang expanded its partnership with CCIT and CCCC-FHDI to jointly develop coastal and river-based low-altitude infrastructure. The collaboration will focus on six strategic areas, including infrastructure planning, marine low-altitude economy models, national low-altitude tourism zones, intelligent logistics corridors, service complexes, and international Belt and Road cooperation.
